For Teams

[May-7] – WOC2020 postponed to 2022

Due to the heavy impacts that we still experience from the Covid-19 pandemic, we no longer regard it to be possible to have a WOC in Denmark in fall 2020. Not only will the many restrictions due to Corona provide major logistic challenges, but more importantly we shall not be able to guarantee freedom of movement, fairness of the competitions or medical safety for neither athletes nor spectators.

In stead WOC in Denmark will be held as a 6 day event in the period between 24-June and 5-July 2022. The planning of the event takes place in coordination with the World Games and other international events, and the exact dates will be announced as soon as possible.

Programme

Accommodation

The Triangle Region offers a wide range of accommodation, from five-star hotels to cabins.

The Triangle Region has many attractions and gets very busy in summer-time. We therefore recommend that you book your accommodation well in advance.

Teams are free to choose their own accommodation. Be aware that some hotels are located inside the embargoed areas. It is your own responsibility to check this and choose accommodation outside these areas.

Further questions regarding team accommodation can be addressed to email: office@woc2020.dk

Embargoed Areas

For reasons of fair play according to IOF competition rules, a number of areas have been embargoed for potential WOC 2020 team members (athletes, coaches, team leaders and other persons who may influence the results of the competition).

Previous Maps

You can view and download previous orienteering maps from within the embargoed areas here.

Geodata

With help from MapMagic we have prepared packages of geodata covering the embargoed areas. With those data, all teams and athletes will be equally equipped with the best geodata available for their preparations. The products are optimized to be used as the primary data basis to produce orienteering maps. The data used and refined by MapMagic are freely available and provided by the Danish Agency for Data Supply and Efficiency. The primary dataset used is “Punktsky” forming the basis of the Danish Height Model (DHM).

The Nokian Tyres World Orienteering Championships 2020 (WOC 2020) in sprint orienteering, with individual, knockout and relay competitions, will be held in Vejle, Fredericia and Kolding on 6–11 July 2020.

The championships are supported by Sport Event Denmark, Trekantomraadet, Vejle Municipality, Fredericia Municipality and Kolding Municipality and are arranged by the five local clubs OK SNAB, OK GORM, OK FROS, OK Melfar and Kolding OK, in co-operation with the Danish Orienteering-Federation.
